July 4th

Let nations be destroyed, and their idols smashed. It looks to be hot today again, maybe with better rain chances, and heat relief tomorrow. I hope. The forecasts keep changing, as usual. 







 Pray for rain! Heh, heh. What IS Uri Geller up to these days??

Rain!

 Yes, we got a pretty good rain last night, and things were nice and wet this morning. Our rain chances are ramping up day by day, and the high pressure system that made us bake recently is breaking down. Drastic changes for Friday and the next week looks to be quite pleasant. Some forecasters are giving us a 40% chance of storms on July 4th. In the future we still have hurricane Beryl which might spell peril for the Texas coast. The storm has a nasty habit of intensifying very rapidly. Keep an eye on that. Beryl. Peril?

Will Our Heatwave End?

 Yes it will, but when? Maybe in a couple of days if you can believe the forecasts. I hope they are right. Maybe that monster hurricane in the gulf will push our high pressure dome elsewhere. Maybe it will send up waves of moisture and give us heavy rains. Extreme south Texas might be in for a beating. As usual, one wonders. 







My own little wild kingdom prospers.

Nothing But The Weather

 It continues to be quite hot but the new hurricane might send a surge of moisture our way. I hope so. I would like that very much. From time to time I check the blog stats to see what sort of traffic I get. Last month I had many visitors from Israel, or at least bots from there, and I see now that this traffic has ceased. I should have said what Lenny Bruce is said to have said, as his mental state deteriorated, "No, No, I am NOT the messiah". Look elsewhere. Look in the cabbage patches, and under lettuce leaves, for the messiah might be hiding there. But there is no messiah hiding HERE. Good luck. You'll need it. 







Perhaps the messiah will say, "Take this job and shove it"?

Heat Continues

 I'm managing things quite well, in the face of our heat wave. I am very happy with where I've been, but I'm also OK with where I am, and I can't think of another place I'd rather be. I use "place" loosely, as in location but also emotional state and state of mind. Once in a while I rage against the machine, but it passes. 







I can look out the window in this room and see a thriving jungle, a sea of green! We seem to have a bit of a breeze today, and that will make it more comfortable to be outside, although I've already done everything necessary outdoors.
